A Hero's Five Act Tale

Do you think humans are heroic?

A hero's five act tale,

A tale of horse and mail,

A tale of damsels in distress,

But a tale our hero will fail.

We live in a world of stories and dreams,

Where the evil are always in failure,

But in the reality of horrors and screams,

There's a world in need of a savior.

And there, from the dust, rises up our desire,

A man full of moral and valor,

And briefly, before the sun even sets,

The people betray our great savior.

They say "don't stir the pot, you must have forgot,

the world was happy before you"

And then back they go, to their almighty despot,

With no interest or care in their welfare.

This goes only to prove that nothing is "true",

and the crowd will waste freedom for comfort,

So don't question order, and obey your boss,

or your good will be branded as "chaos"
